You could perhaps get away with socialism for quite some time in some
tiny podunk nation, merely because it's limited size minimizes the
requisite number of analytical factors to consider in trying to
centrally run things, but as the Soviet Union proves, the larger the
nation, the less likely the idiots that are megolomaniac enough to
seek "Authority" are going to be able to include enough pertinent
details to keep things running. This Country, being the largest (and
once freest) Economy in the World, should it continue deeper into the
clutches of socialism, will collapse on such a grand scale that
historians (those without an ax to grind) will be teaching it to
pupils for thousands of years to come: "The Hubris that all your
wants can be fulfilled at the expense of your neighbor, and that
money can be printed out of thin air to fulfill that promise."

Don't like to brag (and my nose just gut 2 inches longer) but I said
(actually wrote) the following on the 9th of February 2012 regarding
the upscuddle betwixt the Church of Rome (of which I am a
lackadaisical adherent) and the Bureaucracy of Washington DC over
picking up the tab for birth control supplies and abortions for
Church employees:

Besides, think about it. If we strip the Government of the power to
force people to pony up money for something they consider immoral in
one case (referring to the Catholic Church), we can do it in others.
Anyone object to the Big G spending their taxes on the war in
Afghanistan or enforcing unconstitutional anti gun laws?

I don't recollect anyone else saying this for at least a week after
me. Okay, so I'm shamelessly pandering for credit. Then again. if I
wasn't the first guy saying it I was purty damn close.
A leettle recognition would be nice. Not too much, about a pat on the
head's worth.

Or better yet, let's work for the day no state has the power to force
people to spend their money on anything they specifically don't want
it spent on.
